Cs, while giving the composite material excellent mechanical, chemical and biological properties. Undoubtedly, it
has an important theoretical significance and broad prospects. In recent years, many scholars have done a great deal
of research on Hap/Cs-Chs composite materials, most of them mainly focus on their mechanical property, material
preparation. However, there are few studies on microstructure and biological safety evaluation of materials. In this
paper, nano-Hap/Cs-Chs composite materials with different weight ratios were prepared by a liquid co-precipitation
method. Based on the analysis of phase, composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of composites, the
safety of composites was evaluated by MMT method. Which provides a good experimental basis for the practical
application of this series of composite materials.

relate to the adhesive effect of the nano hydroxyapatite particles, resulting in the increase of particle size in
microstructure. Especially, the pH value of the compound system was changed instantaneously when the Chs was
added, which affected hydroxyapatite particles formation and crystal growth .The specific reasons and composite
mechanism need further research.
Furthermore, elementary analysis (EDS) results show an average Ca/P atomic ratio of 1.85 and it can be observed
the presence of trace elements Na in composites materials from Figure 2. It belongs to the rich calcium type of Hap
and the existence of sodium is good for natural bone..

4. Conclusions
The Nano Hap/Cs-Chs composite materials with different mass ratio were prepared by liquid co-
precipitation method. The noncrystallization structure of hydroxyapatites in the composite material is
similar to that of the natural bone.
The Hap particle size and dispersion are affected by adding different weight percentages of Cs-Chs, which
exhibits that the particle become more compact with increasing Cs-Chs in composition. The nano-Hap were
dispersed uniformly in the organic phase Cs and Chs with relatively good crystallinity. The particle size of
Hap is about 40-100 nm with a spherical shape. When Hap/Cs-Chs is 50/50, the uniformity, compactness
and compressive strength achieve the best performance.
Composites containing trace amounts of sodium that is beneficial to the growth of natural bone. The Ca/ P
ratio of composite material is around 1.85, which close to the theoretical value of Hap and belongs to the
rich calcium type of Hap. Cytotoxicity test showed that the Hap/Cs-Chs composite materials had good
biocompatibility and safety. Therefore, the physical and chemical performance of the composite material
can satisfactorily meet the requirements of bone tissue engineering material.
